This feels pretty exciting.
I started practicing lucid dreaming again for real 3 days ago, and my routine so far has been to perform serious Reality Checks during the days, go to bed reasonably early (that is, before midnight, or close to it) and write down my dreams before falling asleep again.
I have always woken up about 4-5 hours after falling asleep so far (which is when I write down my dreams for about 10-15 minutes or so, although I tend to do simple drawings instead and make quick notes about them when necessary), and every time I fall asleep from there, I get at least one False Awakening.
This isn't really something that bothers me, in fact I find them to be great signs that I am making progress, since I always have lucid dreaming on my mind when they happen, and I got lucid in one of them - but they usually tend to fool me, since they are so realistic and feel so convincing.
How can I get around this, and how do I make the best out of it?
I have considered trying to count ten minutes while falling back to sleep the next time, and then open my eyes and see if that lets me "catch" the False Awakenings more easily, then experiment with this and see how long I need to count before checking again.
